My controller sends to Twig the following associative array in a variable called 'petition';

Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 1
            [doctype] => "somedoc"
            [nrdoc] => "99"
            [datadoc] => "2015-01-01"
        )
    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 2
            [doctype] => "otherdoc"
            [nrdoc] => "100"
            [datadoc] => "2015-01-01"
        )
)

Then, in my Twig template (view) I'm doing this:

    {% for id in petition %}

        {% if id.doctype == 'somedoc' %}
            {{id.nrdoc}} / {{id.datadoc}}
        {% else %}
                UNDEFINED!
        {% endif %}

    {% endfor %}

The problem is that I can't figure out the logic of how to output "UNDEFINED!" only once, if the doctype != "somedoc" when there are other key->value elements in the array. The way I'm doing it, it will output "UNDEFINED!" everytime the script loops...

Thank you in advance for your help

Gabriel

One variant is to define an extra variable for this: 

{% set undefined = false %}

{% for id in petition %}
    {% if id.doctype == 'somedoc' %}
        {{ id.nrdoc }} / {{ id.datadoc }}
    {% else %}
        {% set undefined = false %}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

{% if undefined == true %}
    UNDEFINED!
{% endif %}

  • Thank you, chapay ! if I was doing it in php I would have done it on similar logic. Unfortunately I'm new to Twig and I was not aware of the fact that it can actually define variables within the template! you saved my day :)... yes, I know... should have read about it in docs... :) – Gabriel Maftei Nov 12 '15 at 12:42
